So here’s my issues:
We did a self DIY on our kitchen backsplash and 3 out of 4 walls turned out well. However the final wall the grout dried to fast to work with and now we have too much grout and a gouge on the bottom where it meets the countertop.

What can you do to: 1) remove excess DRY grout that has been sealed 2) change the color of the grout from a silver to a light beige or brown 3) will using selphuric acid hurt my granite countertops if we use it to try and strip the grout down with it?

Getting the grout out from around pebble tile is nearly impossible and while acids can help, they will likely cause issues with the granite.
I’d recommend you remove the bad section (chisel, scraper) get some more material, and re-do it. It will be much faster and cleaner than trying to remove the grout and re-grout the area.
